Simple Vegan Pita Pizzas

August 9, 2016 32 Comments

Simple vegan pita pizzas loaded with olives, zucchini, smoked tofu and peperoncino.

It’s again a recipe that doesn’t really need any description. Hey, it’s PIZZA! What else should I say? Right? But if you have never come across pita pizzas before, your life is about to change. Pita pizzas are the perfect lazy options for all of us, sometimes-not-that-motivated-in-the-kitchen-people. These pita pizzas are ready before you could order any pizza, but they taste so good! Super satisfying right out of the oven, but of course, just like any good pizza, it’s great cold too. Plus they make a great snack and party food, and though I don’t have kids, I’m pretty sure it’s the type of food every kids would love to have.

Hungarian Potato Casserole

Layered Hungarian potato casserole is my ultimate comfort food.

One of the national dishes of Hungary, Rakott Krumpli, this traditional casserole is originally made with sausage, hard boiled eggs and tons of sour cream. But not this, not here, not today. My version is vegan, oil-free and as satisfying as it could get. This awesome veganized comforting dish of potato slices, tofu eggs and kidney bean sausage in a creamy cashew sauce makes the most delicious main dish accompanied with pickles or a big bowl of green salad. This savoury bake is a true comfort food, which is also easy to prepare and budget-friendly.

This oil-free, gluten-free and vegan cake is luxurious, velvety and extra chocolaty. It’s pure indulgence, and simplicity at its finest.
